Fairfield, Calif.-based NorthBay Healthcare has joined the rapidly expanding Mayo Clinic Care Network, making it the first healthcare organization in Northern California to do so, according to the North Bay Business Journal.
By joining the care network, NorthBay Healthcare will gain access to Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic's latest research, knowledge and clinical care expertise.
"Long admiring Mayo Clinic from afar, it struck me how much we share a vision of why we exist and how we do what we do," said Gary J. Passama, president and CEO of NorthBay Healthcare, according to the report. "We want our friends, families and neighbors in Solano County to live longer, happier, healthier lives through access to the highest level of knowledge and expertise. Collaborating with others to provide the best care possible for patients is part of Mayo Clinic's culture and part of ours."
The Mayo Clinic Care Network, which was launched in 2011, is comprised of more than 35 member organizations in the U.S., Mexico, Puerto Rico and Singapore.
